Mägo de Oz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Siento que no te di
Lo que esperabas de mi
Ahora que todo terminó
A quien de mi te alejó
Yo le quisiera pedir
Que me deje sólo un día más
De lo que eras para mi
Que me deje disfrutar
De tu voz, y contemplar
Tus ojos una vez más
Te escribo esta líneas
En papel,
Espero que donde estés
El correo llegue bien
Por aquí todos estamos bien
Luchamos por seguir
Como aprendimos de ti
Echo de menos
El llegar y oír tu voz,
Echo de menos
No tener tu apoyo, no!
No creo en el más allá,
No sé donde buscarte
Y aquí no estás
No creo en la eternidad,
Necesito encontrarte
Y estar en paz
Necesito terminar
Lo que un día empezamos
A planear
Lo que quiero es tenerte
Y no recordar
Espera donde estés
Pues tengo que vivir
Y cuando muera iré
A charlar junto a ti
No he apreciado
Lo que he tenido,
No lo he apreciado
Hasta que lo he perdido
Y si la fortuna o el azar
Me dan la oportunidad
De volvernos a ver
Juro que jamás te ocultaré
Lo que hay dentro de mi ser
Te abriré mi corazón
Te echo de menos,
Un beso, adiós, cuídate
No nos olvides, muy pronto,
Nos volveremos a ver
Ahora que ya tu no estás aquí
The lyrics of "Réquiem" by Mägo de Oz convey a deep sense of regret and longing for someone who is no longer present. The singer is filled with sorrow that they were unable to give this person what they had hoped for and that their time together has come to an end. They express a desire to have just one more day with their loved one, to talk about what they meant to each other and to enjoy their presence once more. The singer laments the loss of their loved one's voice and support, and admits that they took them for granted. They express a hope that wherever the loved one is, they are well, and that they will be reunited one day.
The song is a reflection on the beauty and fragility of life and the importance of seizing every moment we have with our loved ones. It encourages us to appreciate the people in our lives and to cherish the time we have with them. The song also speaks to the pain of loss and the difficulty of moving on after someone we love has passed away. It acknowledges the deep sorrow and sense of longing that can come with grief, but also offers the hope that we will be reunited with those we have lost.

No puedo escuchar esta canción sin llorar por cuanto extraño a mi madre. Tal parece que la escribieron pensando en lo que siento con su ausencia.
Y veo que no soy la única. Ánimo y saludos.
